  Go and set up or patronize an ISP that doesn't filter any spam and
leave the rest of us alone.  Just please don't go around demanding that
*ALL* ISP's *NOT* do *ANY* filtering because a fraction of a percent
of their customers might like spam.

  Please get this through your head, a non-filtered ISP is not going to
be available for under $100 a month.  The bandwidth and DASD farms and
mailservers necessary to handle all that spam (and the staff to admin
them) cost real money.  And, no, I am not cheap enough to sell my
personal info, or view a scrolling ad-bar, or allow GMail to rummage
through my correspondence in order to get a cheap/free big inbox.

1) Those who have effective spam-blocking
2) Those who wish they did
